rrdcached is a daemon and a Collectd plugin who replace rrdtool plugin.<br>
<br>
There is no need to modify your architecture. Just install rrdcached and<br>
configure rrdcached Collectd plugin to work with.<br>
<br>
Before :<br>
<br>
LoadPlugin rrdtool<br>
<Plugin rrdtool><br>
DataDir "/var/lib/collectd/rrd"<br>
</Plugin><br>
<br>
After :<br>
LoadPlugin rrdcached<br>
<Plugin rrdcached><br>
DaemonAddress "unix:/var/run/rrdcached/<u></u>rrdcached.sock"<br>
DataDir "/var/lib/collectd/rrd"<br>
CreateFiles true<br>
CollectStatistics true<br>
</Plugin><br>

How do you deal with the options:<br>
<br>
RRARows 20000 # PDPs = timespan / (stepsize * rrarows)<br>
RRATimespan 320000 # 3.7 days (16s)<br>
RRATimespan 1600000 # 18.5 days (80s)<br>
RRATimespan 8000000 # 92.6 days (400s)<br>
RRATimespan 80000000 # 926 days / 30.5 months / 2.54 years (4000s)<br>
<br>
Which are normally placed inside of <Plugin rrdtool></Plugin>?<br>

In my setup I run one collectd that just have network and rrdtool plugin enabled and all other servers write to it, so I can avoid restarting it for any config change<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Also, what filesystem do you use?
